Child Nutrition Newsletter All About Protein 1 2 Protein Function Protein provides our body with the building blocks its needs to grow. Protein also helps to build and repair tissues in the body. 3 Building blocks Building blocks are called amino acids. Once we eat foods that contain protein the digestive juices in our stomach breakdown the proteins into amino acids. What happens then? 4 The amino acids then can be reused to make the proteins our body needs to maintain muscles ,bones, blood, and body organs. Complete vs. Incomplete protein Complete protein is described as foods that contain the essential amino acids. Best sources are in meat and milk Incomplete protein is described as food that lack an essential amino acid. To get the essential amino acids add nuts and beans to a vegetable based diet. September 2016 Getting and making Amino acids Some amino acids we can make and some we can only get from food. 9 amino acids our body cannot make , thus we get them from food high in protein. They are called Essential amino acid. 6 What foods contain the most protein? 5 Parts of our body mostly made up of protein Your muscles Your organs Your immune system Beans, Nuts, & Seeds Dairy products & Eggs Beef, Fish & Poultry How to determine your daily protein needs Multiply your weight in pounds by 0.5 or divide your weight in pounds by 2 Example: 70 * 0.5 = 35 grams of protein needs to be eaten daily Fruit of the Month - Pomegranate Originated from the Middle East The word pomegranate means apple with many seeds Pomegranate is part of the berry family A pomegranate can be stored up to two months in the refrigerator Pomegranate tress grow in hot and dry climates There are over 760 varieties of Pomegranate Health Benefits 1/2 cup has 72 calories Anti-inflammatory properties Cures soar throats and coughs Helps prevent stomach infection Supports brain health Lowers dental plaque Vegetable of the Month - Eggplant Eggplant was cultivated from China in the early 600BC Eggplants have a glossy dark purple skin, shaped as a tear drop Inside of an eggplant is white and spongy with small seeds inside of them The skin of an eggplant has a phytonutrient in them that helps protect the fat in our brain cells You can get white, lavender or red-striped eggplants occasionally Eggplant is used widely in the middle east Healthy Recipe Baked Eggplant Health Benefits 1 cup has 38 calories Helps manage type 2 diabetes Protects brain cells Lowers bad cholesterol High in magnesium helping bone health Aids in digestion Low in fat Fun Zone Corner Let us figure out how many grams of protein these kids need Recipe 1 medium Eggplant, sliced 3 medium Tomatoes sliced 2 tsp.
